Esser Builders II

They were very responsive and did a great job

One of the most least integrity company we have ever dealt with. Albert Esser II, Mark, Jill Esser, Erika Pratt, were very dishonest, cut corners, and stole from us. As a licensed contractor, Albert, knows that he has to pull permits for a project as big as this one was and he failed, miserably. He has yet to pull one permit, finish the job that this company was paid in full for. We are out more money because of his lack of integrity and compassion. Albert Esser II is a salesman nothing more nothing less. His staff along with his wife , kids, friends came along to help this project who do not have a license to build, plumb, heating/cooling or electrical. Albert Esser II needs to be held accountable for all of their mistakes and make this right or pay us back.

All parts of the project were completed in a very timely manner and with experience and skill. Painting was exceptional.

Exterior areas on our nearly 35-year-old house in Mason were showing signs of rotting wood siding and trim, woodpecker damage, gutter and downspout problems, cracking and peeling caulk, crumbling concrete steps on our front porch, and more. Esser Builders assessed the problems and deployed a crew to make the repairs and improvements. Their work was outstanding, performed by a team of men and women who clearly cared about doing a good job, worked hard, and knew what they were doing. Hats off and thank you to Mark (the construction foreman), Dennis and his wife, the rest of the worksite crew, Al, Erika and the rest of the Esser team. We would hire them again with no hesitation.

Watch out for this company.. they are not honest nor have any integrity. Esser Builders II, Albert Esser II, Erika Pratt, and staff took full advantage of my parents, haven't completed the work they were paid for, didn't pull permits for the project, caused more damage by doing it incorrectly, posting pics on their website for glorification, and yet get their panties in a bunch when called out on all of this and still haven't done what is right and just. Albert Esser II and his staff were paid in full and paid ALOT to do this project that quite frankly was too much for him and his staff. So Albert, how about owning up to ALL of the mistakes your comapny did and getting the job done or you foot the bill for a competent company to do the job. You can keep blocking me from social media but not going to stop me from being an advocate for my parents and make sure that this job is completed 100% to their satisfaction. The pics are just a few of what has gone wrong.

Tear off and installation went well very large job. Work on the roof was done with attention to detail. High quality shingles were used with a life time certificate warranty on the shingles and work. I would recommend them to anyone that has a project.

I have really appreciated all my interactions with this company. They are very timely responding to questions. Offer excellent suggestions on how to fix problems. Easily understood the improvements I wanted to make to the house. Everyone I have interacted with are so nice and professional. I have nothing but priase for this company and highly recommend them.

They were prompt, and did the work they said they would do with no surprises or hidden cost

Seamless process. Very quick to respond to get someone out for the job.

Very pleased with the work. Al, Erika and the crews were great to work with, went above and beyond to meet our needs and did an excellent job. Would definitely call on them again.

Esser Builders added a bathroom fan exhaust vent in my existing older roof without damaging my existing shingles. I plan on using them again in the future if I need help with another project.

Esser Builders did excellent work replacing my privacy fence. I am very pleased with their work. They were professional, polite, on time, and addressed all my concerns. This is the FIRST company that I have ever let come work at my home without me being there. I hope to use them in the future when I replace my deck. This work was done 2021.

Albert was extremely helpful throughput the process from initial review and quote to updates on the project timeline. We were willing to wait due to the impact of Covid and they were communicative with the understandable delay everyone is experiencing in availability of materials. They kept us informed throughout the process. The project consisted of removal and installation of new siding, new garage doors, outdoor light fixtures, new front door and garage entry door. Michael and Josh were on site and very professional and helpful with our questions or any concerns through the process. The workmanship was excellent and you could see their attention to detail. I have had other remodelers where communication has been a nightmare but not with Albert, Michael and Josh. I also want to mention Barry who was very diligent in figuring out a wiring problem with one of our light fixtures to ensure it worked properly. They were very meticulous in every detail and it shows. Will definitely use them for future projects.

They did a pretty sizable deck and covered area for us. These guys are absolute professionals that obviously take pride in their work. I am difficult to please and they easily exceeded even my standards. I would ( and will) absolutely hire them again. It is no coincidence that they have so many flawless reviews across multiple platforms. Fair pricing and high quality craftsmanship are a winning combination.

The project lasted about three weeks. The house looks much better than it did before. Mike made sure everything was sealed, caulked and protected from the elements. The yard was clean of all debris when the project was finished. They answered all my questions and concerns about the process, and even added new gutters and guards to the workload at the last minute. The price of the job was very reasonable compared to other quotes we had received. We are very satisfied with the end result and would hire this company again in a heartbeat!

Overall I am very happy with the build. We had a two car garage built from the ground up. We had really good advice on the location, style of garage, and size. The price was reasonable too. There were a few problems with the garage door which caused it to get stuck while open quite a few times. That issue was resolved to my satisfaction as they sent out a third party company who fixed some minor installation issues. The bedroom is great, we are really happy with the way it turned out. We had a two car garage converted into a bedroom, bathroom, and walk-in closet. The only part I was not happy about was the timing. We signed the contract and paid for the deposit on the garage in April 2019 and construction didn't start until November 2019. The remodel did not start until January 2020 and finished at the end of March 2020. We are still waiting on the driveway which has already been paid in full. The most frustrating part is the only time you get an update is when you call or text repeatedly and it should not be like that. It should be the builders job to call and give you updates. I've now been waiting since July 2019 for a gravel driveway. Understanding COVID shut things down, but everything opened in June 2020 and it's now October 2020 and it's not done. After texting several times for over a month the gravel was finally delivered. I asked when the driveway would be done and was told "no timeframe". I asked the owner to call, no response. So I posted a Facebook post as I no longer had his number and that was the only way to get a response. I had a text from him that he would call today, and it never happened. I would hire him again but I would make sure the contract specifies a completion date. I will post an updated review and pictures as soon as the driveway is done.

Excellent job performance and all around great people to do business with. They were great.

Professional team that can handle wide range of projects. Employees are extremely accommodating and respectful. Owner honors warranty on all projects. Originally hired for roof replacement on 2 residences. Subsequently, hired as the main maintenance team for our commercial properties. Would highly recommend.

Everything was done in a very timely matter. They did everything to the specification of the project that had to be done. Give them a call very friendly to deal with.

We hired Esser Builders ii (EBII) to do a large project back in the fall of 2019. We needed our driveway replaced, an outbuilding removed, large concrete steps demolished, a new covered deck entrance replaced on the side of our house, and a small multi-level deck & stairs to our backyard installed. Through the entire process, Esser Builders ii, and their owner Albert, have been wonderful. I cannot recommend highly enough this company and I am confident I will contract with them again for future projects. Here are some major facets of process that I think are valuable for prospective customers to know: 1) Bidding Process: With the exception of EBII, the other bids were vague and did not have a lot of detail – especially regarding what was included/excluded. EBII provided a very detailed bid that carefully laid out the work that would be done, the materials that would be used, and everything was included in the estimate. That is, when they price a project (e.g. a door), they don’t come back to you to ask for more $$ if they run into a problem. This happened on our job and it was worth it. Moreover, when the initial visit occurred, the owner Albert came to do the bid himself. He was knowledgeable and had good ideas about how to improve the project given our budget. No pressure or hard sell was applied. Their prices were somewhat higher than the other bids – but I have no regrets! 2) Communication: Whenever I have had questions about the project, such as the expected timeline, materials, or other details, the main office and/or Albert himself contacted me very quickly – often later the same day – even on weekends. I never once had trouble getting information or answers to my questions. This type of communication is comforting when you are spending a lot of money. 3) Flexibility: Part of our project overlapped with the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated business shutdowns. EBII’s workers worked within the law to complete our open project since it was unsafe if incomplete (i.e. dangerous drop-offs). They had the proper legal permissions and acted professionally throughout the period. In addition to the COVID-19 issues, EBII was also comfortable adjusting the project after we decided to do something slightly different regarding deck design as well as add a few odds and ends to the work. It was not a problem – they simply modified the bid slightly and added the modifications to the work. Easy-Peasy. 4) Follow-through: With any large project, often you notice a bit of stuff here or there where you think that a small repair is needed, or a detail was missed. It happens. What impressed me with EBII is that they are committed to making sure that their customers are satisfied. They are happy to send people back to your job and make things right. In other words, after they are paid, they still are happy to return free of charge to make sure the work is completed to the customer’s satisfaction. Laudable behavior. 5) Quality: The crews show up when they say they will and respect your property. I found the crew to be professional, courteous, and devoted to their work. Every day the site was cleaned up until the next day of work. Moreover, the products use in the construction and the quality/sturdiness of what is built is top notch. Our old deck was poorly constructed and falling apart. The new deck uses serious 4”x6” post construction in poured concrete with fine attention to detail (i.e., sanding corners so that everything is smooth, etc.). It is a major bummer to pay thousands of dollars for shoddy work – I have had that happen earlier in my life. It is nice to see the opposite with EBII – especially when you know that they stand behind their work long after the end date of the build. All in all, you can’t go wrong with Esser Builders ii. They are competent, professional, fair, honest, and respectful. This was my first experience with Albert & EBII – and I know that I won’t be the last.

Al was very informative regarding my botched roof from a previous "roofer", and was great to work with. I eventually needed to replace my deck also due to safety issues, so I contacted Al again. Once my deck installation began, I was thrilled to see the results! His staff Chase and Aaron were professional and personable, very respectful and insightful of my requests. Al and his staff are great people to work with. I would definitely hire him and his crew again for any upcoming home improvement projects that I have. Thanks Al and Erika!!!

The men that were working did a very thorough job on the job. Explained all that they find and was doing. Cleaned up great, just like it was before doing. Did a fantastic job of fixing my problem and would definitely hire again.

Al and his team provided prompt service at a reasonable price. We look forward to working with EsserbuildersII in the future. Highly recommend.

Good and quick. Great staff no problems.

Very responsive and preformed the job as stated within the initial quote. I had a leaky 4' by 4' section of flat roof that adjoins my master bedroom. The flat roof membrane was replaced and have not had any leaks since.
